We are holding steady at 2,000 cfs from Anderson Ranch Dam. Anderson Reservoir is now 98 percent full and should top off in the next week.
The slow, steady melt this year has been rather amazing. Despite a dry 2010 water was saved and we entered 2011 with reservoir contents in pretty good shape. Lots of snow this year, but a slow melt, has meant the pools are filling slowly in May and June. Today the pool finally fills to the point to equal that of last year. But this year it is still filling and in 2010 by the first week of July the reservoir was starting to drop. Check out the chart –
Indications point to ending the year with more water than a year ago. And 2010 was slightly higher than average.
